skinz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) But what if the pilot was a terrorist? So what if he was? What would that have to do with the mystery surrounding the disappearance? Edited March 13, 2014 by skinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHYTOT Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So what if he was? What would that have to do with the mystery surrounding the disappearance? Well let's have a think. A regular guy flying a plane would keep to the flight plan, keep his radar identity switched on, keep in radio contact and should there be a problem he would report it. A terrorist probably wouldn't. So if you are looking for a plane where a pilot got into trouble there is a pretty good chance you will know where to look. But if it was under the control of a terrorist it could be anywhere. Oh I nearly forgot. A regular guy wouldn't crash unless he had a major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Apparently there is an article in the Wall St Journal claiming that the Rolls Royce engines continued to send back data to the UK for another 4 hours after last contact with the plane. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579434653903086282?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304914904579434653903086282.html If that's the case then it isn't surprising it hasn't been found..it could be in some remote area of Australia or even Papua New Guinea.

Malaysian transport minister is now dismissing the story,still insists that the last engine info was transmitted at 0107am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolls Royce will know the actual facts of this I would think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been detected by military radar somewhere along the way surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalga Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Like this? http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/12/us-malaysiaairlines-flight-idUSBREA2701720140312 They say that they don't know for sure that this is this missing flight that was tracked on radar,but surely there is a way that they can find out if it was another plane they were tracking by checking with airlines/authorities who can confirm or deny that they know of another flight on that flight path at that time.

The point I was making is that it would have had to cross either Malaysian/Indonesian airspace on Borneo, maybe Philipines airspace then into Australian airspace. The chance of it plotting a course to avoid all military (and civilian) radar on such a route would be minimal. If it did keep flying most likely it headed out to open sea away from radar.
